Beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour music!!
My dream ceremony!
I must watch my wedding video at least 20 times a day simply to hear the music. I was so moved walking down the aisle and our guests were completely blown away. We worked with over 18 wedding vendors to make our dream day happen - if I had to plan my wedding over again the harp violin cello trio was the team I absolutely could not live without! Thank you Melissa for everything you and your team did to make our day so magical.
